Court Document Submission

Physical, paper-based, backlogged — a system built for institutions, not people.

Total time: 3–7 days per filing
1

Identify Legal Need

Home / Office

User realises they need to file or respond to a legal document — no guidance available.

2

Research Requirements

⏱ 2–3 hrs

Searching government websites, calling clerks, reading legalese — often still unclear on next steps.

3

Travel to Courthouse

🚗 45–90 min each way

Physical presence required. No remote option. Travel costs, parking fees, time off work — barriers compound.

Transit dependent Disability barrier Rural inaccessible
4

Queue at Help Desk

⏳ 45 min avg wait

Understaffed clerks, backlogged desks. No appointment system — first come, first served.

5

Paper Form Completion

⚠ High error rate

Dense legalese. No inline guidance. Mistakes on forms result in rejection and forced return visits.

6

Submit Forms (Manual)

Paper only

Clerk receives, stamps, and queues submission. No digital tracking or confirmation receipt.

7

Await Response

📬 24–72 hours

No real-time status updates. User must call or return in person to check on their filing.

PAIN POINT

Corrections → Return Trip

🔁 ~40% of filers

Request Transcripts

💸 Up to $9.25/page
